Ana de Armas on Acting in ‘Blade Runner 2049’

In her interview, Ana de Armas talks about taking on the role of a humanlike hologram, Joi, in ‘Blade Runner 2049’.

“When I read [the script], my intuition was telling me she was very emotional and very real, but I was so confused. Denis was always asking me for that vulnerability, [but] even when we has conversations with the visual effects team, nobody knew what she was going to look like. It was kind of like a blind process for me…I normally speak by moving my hands and I’m very expressive with my face – something Cuban, I guess. This one has to be everything emotional inside, but little physically.”
